crotchgrabber:Shadow Blasko: crotchgrabber: Can I say, without thread jacking, that I can't wait for indycar at Pocono next year.

I'm a little bummed about the Montreal thing.

You mean with nationwide? Yeah, that sucks. I've said it before and I'll say it again... I've got a nice road course just outside Monterey they can use.

Only the insanity that is Indycar could make us actually look forward to a race at Pocono. Heh.

As for your track, could you imagine the carnage of Jacques Villeneuve going into the corkscrew in a Nationwide car? Heh.

I'm pretty disappointed about the loss of Montreal, though. It's a fun course for those cars. From what I understand, the whole deal fell apart due to a start time dispute that might have been a gambit to get a Cup date.

ClavellBCMI:Jensaarai: Whatever happens, at least it's not likely to be as retarded as the start to last night's F1 race.

Oh, you mean the start that will get Grosjean another one-race suspension (hope hope hope)?

Romain Grosjean is definitely a contender for this year's IREC championship. Milka Duno started the season strong, but her limited schedule is hurting her chances. Jacques Villeneuve put in a commendable effort in Nationwide and Touring cars, but Takuma Sato is currently the points leader, but he doesn't have anymore Indycar events to fark up. However, if Kurt Busch manages to wreck one more Finch car today before bailing, he's likely to be the favorite. Though a second suspension or loss of his super license would certainly help Grosjean's chances.

good_2_go:@JennaFryerWhat I learned today, re: IndyCar: Where there's smoke there is fire.

/I love it when Jenna can't get someone to go on record, so she uses twitter to stir the pot some more.

Is there Indycar news afoot?

crotchgrabber:What happened with f1? I put in a ton of hours this week and forgot about it.

On top of what ClavellBCMI said, Kimi clipped Alonso's rear wheel with his wing while everyone was derping it up, which cut down Alonso's tire, spun him, and then he stalled and couldn't get going.

Massa finished second, leading to the hilarious backhanded compliment by Vettel that "I knew Alonso was out when I realized I was racing Felipe."

Kobayashi beat Webber on the start, was in second for awhile, and held on to a podium.

SPEED channel shiat itself for a fair number of laps, treating us to a black screen then an extended commercial break that'd make an ESPN exec cream his pants. Then they cut to commercial as soon as Kamui started addressing the Japanese crowd in a language not-English.
